火车站建于1918年 They built the train station in 1918.
开站那天我父亲也去了 My father was there the day it opened.
他说那天还请了 He said they had
铜管乐队表演 a tuba band playing.
还请来了整个南方最好的钟表匠 They had the finest clockmaker in all of the South
建了那座雄伟的大钟 to build that glorious clock.
那人叫… His name was...
盖图先生 Mr. Gateau.
蛋糕先生 （盖图/Gateau在法语中是蛋糕之意） Mr. Cake.
他娶了伊文格琳县一个克里奥尔人 （位于美国路易斯安那州中西部的一个县） （克里奥尔人-美国路易斯安那州的法国人后裔） He was married to a Creole of Evangeline Parish
后来他们生了个儿子 and they had a son.
盖图先生先天失明 Mr. Gateau was, from birth, absolutely blind.
他们的儿子长大后就参了军 When their son was old enough, he joined the army.
他们向上帝祈祷 保佑他平安 And they prayed God would keep him out of harm's way.
好几个月 他除了建那钟 什么都没做 For months, he did nothing but work on that clock.
然后有一天 One day,
他们收到一封信 a letter came.
那天晚上工作完后 And Mr. Gateau, done for the night,
盖图先生就独自去睡觉了 went up, alone, to bed.
然后他们的儿子回来了 And their son came home.
他们把他埋在家族墓地里 They buried him in the family plot,
等他们死后 一家就能团聚了 where he would be with them when their time came.
蛋糕先生继续建造那座钟 Mr. Cake worked on his clock,
耗尽心血 终于完工 laboring to finish.

也许就会死而复生 回家来 might stand and come home again.
回家耕种 Home to farm,
工作 work,
生儿育女 have children.
过完他们漫长而充实的一生 To live long, full lives.
也许我自己的儿子也能回家来 Perhaps my own son might come home again.
如有得罪 请各位原谅 I'm sorry if I've offended anybody.
希望你们喜欢我的钟 I hope you enjoy my clock.
蛋糕先生自此再没出现过 Mr. Cake was never seen again.
有人说他心碎而死 Some say he died of a broken heart.
有人说他出海了 Some say he went to sea.
对不起 Excuse me.
我可以打个电话吗？我孩子请人照看着 Do you mind if I make a call? Somebody's watching my little boy.
当然 Sure.

我19岁时 When I was 19,
试图成为第一个游过英吉利海峡的女人 I attempted to become the first woman ever to swim the English Channel.
真的？ Really?

向前游一下 被水流推后两下 for every stroke I took, I was pushed back two.
我在水里待了32小时 I was in the water for 32 hours.
距离加来两英里时 And when I was two miles from Calais,

希望如此 I wish I was.
我会改变很多事 So many things I'd change.

白天千万不要见面 you're never to look at me during the day.
日出之前我们一定要分开 And we're always to part before sunrise.
永远不要说“我爱你” And we will never say "I love you."
这些是规则 Those are the rules.
- 你冷吗？ - 快冻僵了 - Are you cold? - I'm freezing.
哦 你！你快冻僵了 Oh, you! You're frozen.
真傻 我还穿着皮衣呢 我怎么这么粗心 What an idiot, I'm standing here in this fur. How thoughtless of me.

厂里的工人多了十倍 We employed 10 times the number of people.
我们没日没夜地工作 We were operating around the clock.
说来惭愧 Damn shame.
战争让纽扣生意更红火了 The war has been kind to the button industry.

但愿你不要介意 不过 如果有可能 I hope you don't mind, but, whenever possible,
我希望你可以多陪陪我 I'd enjoy your company.
如果力所能及 我当然会的 I'll certainly do what I can.
本杰明 你懂纽扣生意吗？ Benjamin, do you know anything about buttons?
到现在 巴顿纽扣厂已经 在家族中传承了124年了 Now, Button's Buttons has been in our family for 124 years.
我的祖父是个裁缝 只在里士满开了间小裁缝铺 My grandfather was a tailor, and he had a small shop in Richmond.
内战过后 他搬到了新奥尔良 After the Civil War, he moved to New Orleans,
在那儿 我父亲奋发图强 开始经营自己的纽扣生意 where my father had the wisdom to make our own buttons.
于是 在他的大力改革下 小裁缝铺成长到了今天这样的规模 So, with his help, the tailor shop grew to this.
如今 我却连衣服都不会自己缝了 And today, I can't sew a stitch.
这故事真的很有意思 That's very, very interesting.

你母亲叫卡洛琳·墨菲 Your mother's name was Caroline Murphy.
她在你爷爷的厨房里干活 She worked in your grandfather's kitchen.

有时候 我们的人生轨道 会与别人的交错 只是不自知罢了 Sometimes we're on a collision course and we just don't know it.
无论是意外 还是天意 我们都无力改变 Whether it's by accident or by design, there's not a thing we can do about it.
巴黎 一名女子正要出门购物 A woman in Paris was on her way to go shopping.
却发现忘带外套 于是回家去取 But she had forgotten her coat, went back to get it.
她拿起外套 电话铃响 When she had gotten her coat, the phone had rung.
她接起电话 聊了一会 So she had stopped to answer it and talked for a couple of minutes.
与此同时 While the woman was on the phone,
黛西正为一场巴黎歌剧院的演出彩排 Daisy was rehearsing for a performance at the Paris Opera House.
不久 女子聊完 挂了电话 And while she was rehearsing, the woman, off the phone now,
下楼去招出租车 had gone outside to get a taxi.
另一边 出租车司机 刚刚送完一位客人 Now, a taxi driver had dropped off a fare earlier,
便停了车 去买咖啡 and had stopped to get a cup of coffee.
而黛西还在继续排练 And all the while, Daisy was rehearsing.
那位送完了客人 And this cab driver, who dropped off the earlier fare
便去买咖啡的司机 and had stopped to get the cup of coffee,
正巧接了要去购物的那位女子 he picked up the lady who was going shopping
而那位女子 因为一番延误 刚错过了之前的车 and had missed getting the earlier cab.
车子中途停了一下 因为有人横穿马路 The taxi had to stop for a man crossing the street,
这位男子那天比平时晚起了五分钟 who had left for work five minutes later than he normally did
因为他忘了定闹钟 because he forgot to set his alarm.
那个没定闹钟 早上迟到的人 横穿马路的时候 While that man, late for work, was crossing the street,
黛西已经排练结束 开始冲澡 Daisy had finished rehearsing and was taking a shower.
她在洗澡的时候 And while Daisy was showering,
出租车停在一家糖果店门口 等女客人去取包裹 the taxi was waiting outside a boutique for the woman to pick up a package
可包裹还没备好 which hadn't been wrapped yet,
因为打包的女孩 because the girl who was supposed to wrap it
昨晚刚刚与男友分手 太过伤心而忘了打包 had broken up with her boyfriend the night before and forgot.
包裹打好之后 女子回到车上 When the package was wrapped, the woman, who was back in the cab,
又被一辆货车挡住了去路 was blocked by a delivery truck.
与此同时 黛西换上了衣服 All the while, Daisy was getting dressed.
货车开走之后 出租才重新上路 The delivery truck pulled away, and the taxi was able to move
而黛西最后一个才穿好衣服 while Daisy, the last to be dressed,
又等了一会断了鞋带的朋友 waited for one of her friends who had broken a shoelace.
出租在路灯处停下时 While the taxi was stopped, waiting for a traffic light,
黛西和她朋友正从剧场后门出来 Daisy and her friend came out the back of the theater.
如果有一件事 有一点点不一样 And if only one thing had happened differently,
如果那鞋带没断 if that shoelace hadn't broken
如果那货车早一点儿开走 or that delivery truck had moved moments earlier
或者包裹早早备好 or that package had been wrapped and ready
因为男孩没和女孩分手 because the girl hadn't broken up with her boyfriend,
又或者那男子定了闹钟 和平时一样起床 or that man had set his alarm and got up five minutes earlier
再或者司机没有停车喝咖啡 or that taxi driver hadn't stopped for a cup of coffee
而那女子也带了外套 上了之前的出租 or that woman had remembered her coat and got into an earlier cab,
那么 黛西和她朋友 就会平平安安地穿过马路 Daisy and her friend would have crossed the street
那出租也只是和她们擦身而过 and the taxi would have driven by.
但是 生活没有如果 But, life being what it is,
只有一连串互相交错的意外 a series of intersecting lives and incidents
无人能够控制 out of anyone's control,
那辆出租没有和她们擦身而过 that taxi did not go by,
而就在那时 司机分了一下神 and that driver was momentarily distracted.
黛西！ Daisy!
车子撞倒了黛西 And that taxi hit Daisy.
黛西！来人啊！ Daisy! Help!
她的腿 就被撞断了 And her leg was crushed.
黛西？ Daisy?
- 谁让你来的？ - 你朋友写信给我 - Who told you? - Your friend wired me.
你这么大老远来看我 真是好心 Very kind of you to come all this way to see that I was all right.
换了是你 也会这么做的 You'd do the same for me.
我的天 My God.
瞧瞧你 你太完美了 Look at you. You're perfect.
真希望你没来这 我不想你看到我这样子 I wish you hadn't come here. I don't want you to see me like this.
她的腿 断成了五段 Her leg had been broken in five places.
如果治疗得当 假以时日 她或许还能重新走路 And with therapy and time, she might walk again.
但不可能再跳舞了 But she'd never dance.
我带你回家 I'm gonna take you home with me.
- 我愿意照顾你 - 我不回新奥尔良 - I want to look after you. - I'm not going back to New Orleans.
那我就留在巴黎陪你 Then I'll stay here in Paris.
你还不明白吗？我不用你可怜我！ Don't you understand? I don't want your help.
我现在是很难过 可也不用你陪 I know I'm feeling sorry for myself, but I don't want to be with you.
在纽约那会就想告诉你了 可你就是不听 Tried to tell you that in New York. You don't listen.
你或许会改变主意 You might change your mind.
你也不是小孩子了 本杰明 We are not little children anymore, Benjamin.
拜托 从我的生命里消失吧 Just stay out of my life.
我真的是太狠心了 I was awfully cruel.
他一定不明白 我只是不想让他看我那副样子 He didn't understand. I couldn't have him see me like that.
“我没有马上离开 "I didn't leave right away.
而是在巴黎逗留了一阵子 暗中照看她” "I stayed in Paris for a while to look out for her."
我一点也不知道 I never knew that.
哦 亲爱的 能帮我叫下护士吗？ Oh, darling, could you get the nurse?
我又重新学会走路 I taught myself to walk again.
又坐火车去卢尔德（法国西南部小城） I took the train to Lourdes.
我看看 很正常 脉搏舒缓下来了 Let's take a look. That's normal. Pulse rate is slowing.
稍后可能会呼吸困难一会 She is gonna struggle to breathe.
- 你在这没事吧？ - 嗯 - Will you be all right? - Yeah.
我接着读 他说“我回到家” 这里有很多页被撕掉了 All right, he says, "I went back home." And then there's a lot of pages torn out.
“我聆听着房子的低语” 我读过这段了 "I listened to the sound of the house." I read that already.
他… He...
他把什么东西溅到纸上 这段看不清了 妈 He spilt something on it, so it's hard to read, Mom.
好像是关于帆船的 您知道他在说什么吗？ Something about sailing, does that make sense?
我用父亲留在湖边别墅的帆船 学会了驾驶 I learned to sail an old boat of my father's from the lake house.
说老实话 I can't lie.
我也确实很享受 与一两位女子共度的时光 I did enjoy the company of a woman or two.
也许是三个吧 Or maybe three.
何必这么烦呢 山姆 反正明天还是要去一趟的 Don't know why you bother, Sam, just gonna be there again tomorrow.
妈妈 Mama.
1962年春天 And in the spring of 1962,
她回来了 she came back.
- 想知道我去了哪儿吗？ - 不想 - You want to know where I've been? - No.
你怎么连封信也不写？ 就那么人间蒸发了一样 How come you didn't write or nothing? Just disappearing like that.
我只是去处理了一下私事 It was something I needed to do for myself.
我也从没觉得你自私 Yeah, well, I never took you to be the selfish type.
但愿如此 I sure hope I'm not wrong.
我一般看人不会看走眼的 I'm usually not wrong about people.
- 晚安 妈妈 - 晚安 宝贝儿 - Good night, Mama. - Good night, baby.
你俩好好玩吧 Y'all have fun.
- 你说到现在 还没哪句话多过两个字呢 - 我只是不想破坏气氛 - You haven't said two words. - I don't want to ruin it.
- 和我睡吧 - 绝对地 - Sleep with me? - Absolutely.
我邀她与我出游 I asked her to come away with me.
我们沿着佛罗里达群岛 一路乘帆驶进海湾 We sailed into the Gulf along the Florida Keys.
真高兴我不是26岁那年和你在一起 I am so glad we didn't find one another when I was 26.
- 这话怎么说？ - 我那会太嫩了 - Why do you say that? - I was so young.
你又太老 And you were so old.
现在这样 才最自然 It happened when it was supposed to happen.
和你在一起的每分每秒 我都会珍惜 I will enjoy each and every moment I have with you.
我跟你打赌 我在这能比你坚持更久 I bet I can stay out here longer than you.
那我赌你撑不了 I bet you can't.
你脸上几乎没有皱纹 Barely a line or a crease.
而我 每天都会多长出几条 不公平 Every day I have more wrinkles. It's not fair.
我喜欢你的皱纹 每一条都爱 I love your wrinkles. Both of them.
越活越年轻是种什么感觉？ What's it like growing younger?
还真是很难形容 我自己又没法看到全部变化 I can't really say. I'm always looking out my own eyes.
我要是成了黄脸婆 你还会爱我吗？ Will you still love me when my skin grows old and saggy?
等我老到脸上长满青春痘 老到尿床 Will you still love me when I have acne? When I wet the bed?
老到连楼梯下有什么都怕 你还会爱我吗？ When I'm afraid of what's under the stairs?
怎么了？ What?
- 你在想什么？ - 我在想 为什么世上没有永恒呢 - What are you thinking? - Well, I was thinking how nothing lasts.
多可惜 And what a shame that is.
有些事情 是永恒的 Some things last.
- 晚安 黛西 - 晚安 本杰明 - Good night, Daisy. - Good night, Benjamin.

为了过上我们自己的生活 And so we might have memories of our own,

“那是我生命中最快乐的时光” "It was one of the happiest times of my life."
我们半件家具也没有 We didn't have a stick of furniture.
在起居室里野餐 We would have picnics in the living room.
想什么时候吃饭就什么时候吃 只要愿意 就通宵不睡 We ate when we felt like it. Stayed up all night when we wanted.
我们发誓 一定不过循规蹈矩的生活 We vowed never to fall into routine,
绝不按时上床 起床 to go to bed or wake up at the same time.
我们就在床垫上过活 We lived on that mattress.
我们的邻居 凡·丹夫人 是个理疗师 Our neighbor, a Mrs. Van Dam, was a physical therapist.
离家四个街区 就有个公共泳池 We lived four blocks from a public pool.
也许 你能多跳几年舞 You know, you might've got a few more years out of it,
可你的事业太与众不同 but you chose to do something so special and unique
只有几年的黄金时间可以发展 that there was only a short window of time you could do it.
就算没发生意外 So, even if nothing ever happened,
你现在还是会回来 在这 you'd still be right here where you are now.
我只是不喜欢变老 I just don't like getting old.
这里的水消毒过头了 （泳池用氯气消毒 氯气有强刺激性） They put too much chlorine in here.
我保证 以后再也不会自怨自艾了 I promise you I'll never lose myself to self-pity again.
那时候 我知道 And I think right there and then
她懂了 没人是永远完美无瑕的 she realized none of us is perfect forever.
她的内心 终于平静了 She found peace.
她办了间舞蹈室 教小女孩跳舞 She opened a studio and taught young girls how to dance.
足尖点地 And tendu.
跳回来 点地 点地 点地 好极了！ Come back the other way. And spot, spot, spot. Excellent.
- 晚安 黛西老师 - 晚安 - Good night, Miss Daisy. - Good night.
你看起来真美 You certainly are beautiful to watch.
舞蹈好不好就看身线 Dancing's all about the line.
身体的曲线 The line of your body.
早晚 身线都有不好的一天 之后 就一去不复返了 Sooner or later, you lose that line, and you never get it back.

这么说吧 我这样越活越小 怎么能当好一个父亲？ Okay. How can I be a father when I'm heading in the other direction?
对孩子来说也不公平 我不想变成累赘 It's not fair to a child. I don't want to be anybody's burden.
甜心 到头来 我们都会重新用上尿布 Sugar, we all end up in diapers.
我会想办法 让一切都顺利 I am gonna make this work.
我想要这孩子 我想和你一起 把他养育成人 I want this, and I want it with you.

她可真美 像她母亲 She's beautiful. Like her mother.
- 她跳舞吗？ - 跳得不是很好 - Does she dance? - Not very well.
估计是遗传我的吧 I guess that'd be from my side of things.
她是个好姑娘 She's a dear, sweet girl.
只是有点迷惘 不过说回来 谁12岁的时候不是呢 She seems a little lost. But then, who isn't at 12?
她总是让我想起…你 A lot of her reminds me of you.
我丈夫是个鳏夫 那个…过去是 My husband, he's a widower, or was... Was a widower.
他是个大好人 爱冒险 很阳光 He's an incredibly kind, just bright, adventurous man.
- 他也是个好父亲 - 真好 - He's been a terrific father. - Good.
- 你看起来 又年轻了好多 - 只是外表 - You are so much younger. - Only on the outside.
你说得对 You were right.
我没法同时养你们两个人 I couldn't have been raising both of you.
我不够坚强 I'm not that strong.
那你住哪？ So, where are you staying?
接下来准备干什么？ What are you gonna do?
我住在庞恰特雷恩旅店 I'm staying at the Pontchartrain Hotel on the Avenue.
也不知道接着该干什么 I don't know what I'm gonna do.
不过… But...
他们在等我 They're waiting.
我还记得 他就是？ I remember that. That was him?

“那晚 我正坐着 奇怪自己为什么要回来” "That night, while I was sitting and wondering why I came back at all,

进来吧 Come in.
你过得好吗？ Are you all right?
对不起 我都不知道 自己来这是要干嘛 I'm sorry, I don't know what I'm doing here.
没什么是永恒的 Nothing lasts.
我爱你 从没变过 I have never stopped loving you.
哦 别 本杰明 我太老了 Oh, but, Benjamin, I'm an old woman now.
有些事 你永远都不会忘记 Some things you never forget.
很少有人知道 ... so few people even know
您过去还蹲过监狱 that you were ever in jail in the first place.
告诉您吧 我也觉得不爽 I'll tell you, I am sick about it, too,
因为 拜托 他们就算不给您颁个 because, please, if they're not gonna give you an award
“年度人物”之类的大奖 至少 like "Man of the Year," at least what they could do
也该把您的名字从犯人档案里除掉 is stop having you listed as an ex-convict
我觉得 这真是太不公了 which I think is, again, so unfair.
晚安 本杰明 Good night, Benjamin.
晚安 黛西 Good night, Daisy.
和预想的一样 我看着她离开 And as I knew I would, I watched her go.
后面他就没写了 That's the last thing he wrote.
你父亲死后的某一天 Sometime after your father passed,
我接到一个电话 there was a call.
喂 Hello.
是我 请讲 Yes, speaking.
抱歉 我不太明白 I'm sorry, I don't understand.
在路边那房子停下 It's the corner house.
请进 Come on in.
- 我是黛西·富勒 - 我叫大卫·埃尔南德斯 - I'm Daisy Fuller. - I'm David Hernandez,
是儿童福利中心奥尔良分局的 with the Orleans Parish Department of Child Welfare Services.
他住在一栋危楼里 He was living in a condemned building.
警方发现了这个 The police found this with him.
里面有这个地址 而且很多次提到你的名字 This address. It's got your name in it a lot.
他不太健康 已经去过医院了 He's in very poor health. He was taken to the hospital.
他似乎都分不清 自己是谁 在哪 好像是糊涂了 He doesn't seem to know who or where he is. He's very confused.
我告诉埃尔南德斯先生了 本杰明和我们一样 I was telling Mr. Hernandez that Benjamin is one of us.
要是他需要个住的地方 就呆在这吧 If he needs a place to stay, it's all right, he can stay here.
本杰明？ Benjamin?
你弹得真好听 You play beautifully.
他好像不太喜欢被人碰 He doesn't seem to like to be touched.
他记性时好时坏 不太能认人 He goes in and out of states of recognition.
医生说 他们也无能为力 The doctors say, if they didn't know any better,
他已经出现痴呆的症状了 he has the beginnings of dementia.
你还记得我吗？ Do you remember me?
我是黛西 I'm Daisy.
我叫本杰明 I'm Benjamin.
很高兴认识你 本杰明 It's nice to meet you, Benjamin.
你不介意我坐你旁边吧？ 我很喜欢听你弹琴 Would you mind if I sit with you? I would love to hear you play.
我认识你吗？ Do I know you?
- 我要吃早饭 - 此后 每天 - I want some breakfast. - And every day,
我都要过去看看 他过得怎么样 I would stop by to make sure that he was comfortable.
- 不 我没吃过 - 你刚刚吃完了 - No, I didn't. - You just finished eating.
别以为我不知道你们想耍我！ Don't think I don't know what you're doing!
你们这群该死的骗子！ You're all fucking liars!
他不信自己刚吃了早饭 He doesn't believe he just had his breakfast.
哦 咱来想想 Now, why don't we see
给你找点别的事做吧 if we can't find something else for you to do?
我总觉得 自己好像 有很多事情记不得了 I have a feeling there's a lot of things I can't remember.
比如呢？ Well, like what, sugar?
好像我已经活了很久 It's like there's this whole life I had,
却不记得过去的生活 and I can't remember what it was.
没事的 It's okay.
即使忘了 也没事的 It's okay to forget things.
很多时候 他根本不记得 自己是谁 自己在哪 Many times, he would simply forget who or where he was.
他在那 屋顶上 There he is, he's up there on the roof.
照顾他并不容易 It wasn't easy.
- 本杰明！ - 我看见了！ - Benjamin! - I can see everything!
- 我能看见大河！ - 没错 - I can see the big river! - That's right,
你当然什么都看得见 小可爱 you can see everything, sweetheart.

- 那里还埋着很多其他人 - 快下来！ - and all those other people. - I want you to come down!
- 我要是会飞呢？ - 我认识个人就会飞 - What if I could fly? - I knew a man who could fly.
你下来 我就讲他的故事给你听 You come down and I'll tell you all about him.
谁快上去接他 Somebody go up there.
我搬进去住的时候 他相当于五岁 He was five when I moved in.
差不多就是我认识他时候那么大 Nearly the same age I was when I had met him.
“画里画的是大袋鼠 "This is the picture of Old Man Kangaroo
下午五点 他终于会蹦蹦跳了 "at 5:00 in the afternoon
他的双腿又粗又壮又漂亮” "when he had got his beautiful hind legs."
岁月就这样流逝 The days passed.
我看着他 不会再走路 And I watched as he forgot how to walk
- 不会再说话 - 我叫什么呀 - and how to talk. - What's my name?
我叫黛西 I'm Daisy.
你会说“黛西”吗？ Can you say "Daisy"?
2002年 火车站换了新钟 In 2002, they put up a new clock in that train station.
2003年 春天 And in the spring of 2003,
他看着我 he looked at me
那一刻 我知道他认出我来了 and I knew that he knew who I was.
接着 他闭上了眼睛 好像是睡着了 And then he closed his eyes as if to go to sleep.
- 我真希望我认识他 - 现在你就认识了 - I wish I'd known him. - Now you do.
妈 我去看看怎么回事 Mom, I think I should go see what's going on.
晚安 本杰明 Good night, Benjamin.
